So, we went to see Billy Connolly this week and it was a great evening out.
The time flew by. He has a bunch of great stories - I guess the gig could be titled "The World Is F*****".
And he is probably right.
Biggest laugh of the night was probably his take on politicians.

He wants to be leader of the "I'm Not Voting" party and imagines the party advancing on parliament waving banners: "Get the C***** Out."
Look, I understand I already used two bad words but I've got to give you the flavour of this - if it upsets you, please complain to Billy Connolly or s** off and read one of those really boring financial websites ok, and take your pinstripe suit with you!
He's puzzled by the various Look for a Ghost TV shows - the ones cluttering up all the minor channels on Sky.
As he says: "They've spent years looking for ghosts and they have never found ONE."
Plenty of tales of getting lost on the way to gigs, great tales from his (awful) childhood and new technology comes in for a bashing.
As he says using TVs used to be easy. "There was a button marked (f) ON and a button marked (F) OFF.
"Now it always comes on differently and the kids have to help me out..."
He hates it when he goes back to a hotel and it's been refurbished. "It means they also changed the TV," he moans. "And I won't be able to work it..."
I know what he means. They did this at one of my favourite hotels.

I tried to turn it on - it took 15 mins to realise there was a big black box at the BACK of the room so you have to turn the remote control directly AWAY from the TV. And they call that progress.
Then just to watch a normal channel there's a whole tedious rigmarole of button pushing to get there.
Talking of new tech, another I- thing is out - it's weird - new techology is either an I-something or it appears to be named after a soft fruit that is really expensive in marks and spencers.
Apple launched the I-Pad (gettit?) which just looks like a bigger phone.
Personally I'm happy with a laptop and then a phone that just makes calls. I'm just not interested in all the nerdy applications. As for reading books I just want to read a BOOK. I don't want to read it on a sodding computer screen!

And (ssshhhhh) I have not ever sent a single text!! I prefer talking...
Sorry I'll stop ranting - anyway go and see the Big Yin if you get the chance.
The aged cat is getting more demanding. Everytime I get up to make some toast she's immediately on my back demanding yet another snack.
Now I find myself tiptoeing slowly and quietly into the kitchen so she doesn't pipe up. If I am having something she wants something too.
In fact I just made myself some tea and toast VERY quietly.

Lovely hot toast all ready. Quietly took it back to the computer but on the way back, of course my foot touched one of Christopher's toys and "Funky Town" blasted out.
Aged cat woke with a start and immediately yowled to demand food. By the time I fed her the toast was cold.
I'm going to have to work out a new strategy. Do they do earplugs for cats?
Thanks for the mails I had this week from those of you who came to last week's seminar. Glad you enjoyed it and I gather all the hangovers have now gone!
My next seminar is on Friday March 19th at Heathrow so if you couldn't make Friday's maybe you can make this one.
If you're interested in coming then email me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "March seminar interested" in the subject line

I'll then send you details and a full agenda of what is covered. Also more details below somewhere. There is a decent early bookers discount available.

My seminars are designed for beginners, dabblers and improvers and deals with everything from how to look for winners, how to research, spreadbetting, level 2 use how to time trades and short, how to use advfn properly and run your portfolio without having to spend money on systems and tipsters.. and tons more.
A lot of the day comes directly from the live markets and I show you many of the tricks I use to get good prices live. And there might even be the odd live trade or 2! E-mail me for details.
The number of emails to me is nearly reaching saturation point and I'm struggling! I'm getting 100s which is lovely in a way but killing me in another.
The main problem is the length of some of them, indeed some run to the length of novels, so, please, help save my eyes and please keep mails to under 150 words.. you can do it! It's close to the stage where I am going to have to say I will answer all mails but those over 200 words will get deleted. Keep them short and sweet, please!!
Also, it's possible the answer you seek from me is already in FAQ's. And do remember I can't discuss individual shares with you as it would be classified as investment advice which I'm not authorised to give.
Spreadbetting firm Tradefair Spreads has upped its offer exclusively to Naked Trader readers to a £100 credit. This offer is exclusive to me and not available anywhere else...
I've been using them for a few weeks to check that I'm happy with the service. As you know I don't take ads or allow referrals on the site unless it's a company I've used and I feel confident about.
What I like about it is it's easy to use, spreads are surprisingly tight on the smaller companies and interestingly an automated stop loss is applied to each trade - so beginners know what their max loss is from the outset.
Anyway they now offer a £100 credit as long as you deposit £100. You get the credit after you placed 2 trades (Terms and conditions apply)

Many of you enjoy the cheap advfn toplists bronze deal through me as do many of you with the cheap level 2. However many of you say you want a half-way house to include real-time share prices always on.
So I'm pleased to announce I've managed to seal a new deal with Advfn for its "Silver" service - that's always on real-time share prices for a good saving (Bronze toplists etc are included in this).
The deal is via me you can save £30 for your first year by paying just £138.06 inc vat via me instead of £167.47.
Just mail me for full details if you'd like it with "silver" in the subject line.

They've just re-published "The Zulu Principle" by Jim Slater who's written a 2008 update at the beginning.
This is a brilliant classic book. Reading this is a real pleasure and it was a great idea to republish.
Jim believes like I do the best gains can come from smaller stocks and in an easy to read style takes you through how to evaluate smaller companies that are about to become bigger ones - he uses some excellent examples.
Really this is a must read for all more longer-term investors or anyone looking to grow their money... a number of you have also written to me about this book and praising it.
Here is the link to buy it:

Here's a very topical one: The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets by Peter Schiff.
The book is all about how to keep portfolios up in a down market. He focusses a lot on how to play commodities and win with some sensible advice especially on natural resources and precious metals. He is very much a realist and there is no rubbish here: some straight talking and some interesting strategies.
Everyone who invests should think seriously about keeping portfolios up in bad times so this book should be read.

**** BOOKING FOR MARCH 19TH AT HEATHROW NOW OPEN
Fancy spending a day with me, learning all the ways I have learned over the years to find good shares and play the markets? Well, you can at one of my seminars!
Booking is now open for the next Naked Trader seminar on Friday March 19th
Price is £495 plus vat. However right now there is an early booking discount!
That includes three course lunch, coffees, snacks etc. And most importantly it covers choc bars and fruit gums too.
The seminar is mainly aimed at beginners and dabblers though improvers are welcome too.
Topics covered using live market feeds all day include: Market psychology, level 2 - a simple guide to how to use it for better timing; how to value companies; finding companies that are about to rise. I will also cover techniques for handling events such as the recent meltdown and volatility.
Spreadbetting: How to use it to gain an edge and go short. Market makers - how they work and how to beat them; how to stop losing money and make it instead and plenty more.
How to plan trade entries and exits - how to research companies and understand reports, plus all those niggly questions you always wanted to ask. How to set stop losses and targets. Charts and how to use them.
Also covered: Market maker tricks: How to spot tree shakes and use them in your favour, How to tell when NOT to buy a share. I use live ADVFN all day with lots of level 2 and looks at all kind of live market data.
The idea behind the seminar is SIMPLICITY. I don't use jargon or fancy words - everything is in PLAIN ENGLISH! No question is too stupid and the event is held in a friendly relaxed and supportive environment.
The idea is you will come away from the event I hope a wise and better investor with lots of new ideas. I try and translate complex topics into easy bite size pieces. I also aim for it to be entertaining as well as instructive.
If you are interested please e-mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "New Year seminar interested" in the subject line and I will send you full details of the event including comments from those who have come to previous seminars and you can then decide whether you would like to come. See you there!
One seminar attendee Clare wanted to write a testimonial about her experiences at the seminar which follows now!
"I've just come back buzzing from one of Robbie's seminars. What a day! He's just brilliant, and manages to pack an awful lot into one day, and with his enthusiastic and humorous delivery the day just flies by. There are no gimmicks, no sell, no "˜get-rich-quick' promises, just his own solid, sound approach which he has learnt over the years and which works.
He shows you how to minimise the risks and maximise the profits and points out the banana skins on the way. Where the seminar really comes into its own is when he teaches using live level 2. Hearing him talk through his thought processes and reasoning is invaluable, and really brings home everything from the book. He has endless patience answering peoples' questions, and really seems to care that everybody understands.
On top of that, you meet some really nice like minded people and swap e mail addresses, you're plied with
chocolates and coffee all day, have a great lunch and spend the evening getting tiddled with Robbie in the
bar afterwards! You might even get to see the amazing crocodile boots . . . .
Don't worry about the cost, it's easily worth it, and you'll soon make it back with your new-found investment skills, and in what you're no longer losing. If you're thinking of going along to his next seminar, whether you're a novice or an experienced trader, don't hesitate ""just go!
Thanks Clare, did you want the tenner in cash, or will a cheque do?

Been fascinating watching Tony Blair this morning in front of the Inquiry. Seems very nervous and doesn't want to be there.
You quickly get the feeling when he says "Let me make this clear" that he's about to make things more complicated. When he says "to be honest" translate that as the opposite..
My feeling is he just went with George Bush, the attack was always going to happen and the weapons were just a side show.
He also comes across as slightly scary. Someone who maybe persuades himself he's right.
It's laughable that this bloke, Labour's King for so long's only interest seems to be making as many millions as possible. What an embarrassment.
But then look carefully at Labour's front bench. Most of them make a fortune, fiddle expenses then pretend they are there to support "ordinary people". As Billy Connolly right says, what a bunch of C-words!

It's been a decent last Celeb BB. Alex now the favourite to win with Dane next. My vote would be for Stephanie even though she will probably be first out. She's been cool, calm and collected throughout.
Vinnie let himself down bragging about his cash. Davina's dash inside in the costume was always going to be sussed. She ought to have gone in for a week. But I bet she would have been voted out quicky as you can imagine how irritating she'd be quite fast.

Do remember if you do bet you ought to treat sports spreadbetting as entertainment - and expect to lose! Also with spreadbetting work out what your max loss could be and make sure you can afford it! In other words if you say backed the favourite at 15 for a fiver and they come nowhere your max loss is £75.

I wish to thank you for a really fantastic seminar. Compared to the average newspaper pundit//broker/analyst you're worth your weight in gold. Sorry, even better, make that platinum not gold!

It was great to be able to witness you at first hand going through the actual nuts and bolts of your methodology, your thought processes even. And then, watching you trading and giving us access to your real time trading accounts as you trade. You're a very inspiring, generous, accessible and completely down to earth bloke. All in all, that seminar was a masterclass.
Thanks Michael - good to meet you and good luck.

A big thank you for the seminar, you're an absolute trooper to keep
going to such an unsocial hour, especially with the last bunch of us
propping up the (closed) bar! It's a new record for you, although I
think I'd keep that one a secret otherwise your next seminar might be
a 24 hour bender!

It was a great day, really informative and yet strangely relaxing! Met
some very interesting characters and now just hoping I don't get a
case of amnesia, and forget the whole lot before I start trading. If I
do I know where to come.

Hope we didn't drain you too much and you get some TLC and chill out
time with your lovely wife Elizabeth and Christopher over the weekend.

I'll keep you posted should my trading take-off otherwise if you never
hear from me again I've probably packed it all in, and emigrated with
a lovely Swedish girl to live in a log cabin!

well, I hope you get to that log cabin and you and Swede will end up happy together...
Richard writes:
I've just finished reading your book, which I thought was superb. I've not read anything as simple and honest, when it comes to the world of trading, for a while.

I have two questions for you. Firstly, in your book you mention that once someone has invested the initial amount in an ISA, they can grow it to any size and keep buying and selling within that enlarged amount. However, I've just read a Moneyweek magazine article which states "once you are fully invested up to the annual limit, should you then sell the shares in an ISA, you can't change your mind later and reinvest in the same ISA." Does this mean that if you've grown your initial investment to say £20k, if you sell a loser you can't use the cash to buy a different share?

Secondly, and more importantly, I am a big fan of toast, but my question is "¦ Marmite or Bovril? I'm a Bovril man myself, but I know you Brits (I'm South African) are a bit strange and prefer to put it in hot water than on toast.

Hi Richard - more importantly Marmite for me but really marmalade is the winner!

Re ISAs if you grew it to 20k and sell a loser you can reinvest the money again rightaway. ie if you grow your pot you can sell and re-invest. But.. if you withdraw cash you cannot replace it until the next tax year if you already put in the full amount. But there is no limit to the amount you can make in an ISA.

Declan writes:

I have been meaning to drop you an email for a while now.
My wife and I are expecting our first baby in June and I read your web updates and think it's great that you and Christopher have such a great relationship.
I hope to do the same, life is short and you have to put things in to perspective and realise what's important.
Keep up the good work in and away from the markets.

Totally agree Declan, my relationship with him means a lot more than money. Some things cannot be bought. Good luck with the birth and get some sleep in now!

I have 3 great offers from ADVFN. First great deal: If you want level 2, though me it is only £299 for your first year including VAT!

The volatility is back which is generally a bit of a warning sign - market is not sure of itself again and so there's a big increase in the ups and downs.
Having the volatility back makes it harder to figure out when to take profits and losses.
Of course there's nothing worse than taking a profit or a loss at the wrong time. All us investors/traders know the pain of selling something and it immediately powers back up...
As someone who has no interest in being a hotshot day trader and prefers the quiet life when it gets volatile I take a good look at the stocks I have that might be subject to it and consider closing.
The other thing I do in periods of turbulence is to be very careful about what is bought till it subsides.
Today the market has powered up again after some good figures stateside. But who knows what'll happen next week and it remains unpredictable which for me continues to mean caution for the moment. One set of figures or a comment by someone or other can drive the Ftse up or down 100 pts just like that.
Anyway staying cautious on buys. I have shorted PV Crystalox (PVCS) - I was a fan of the share when it launched on the market. But there are a lot of question marks over it right now and demand seems wafer thin at the moment (gettit?). Things could improve but for now looks like a short. I went for £50 future at a tad under 60. Target 50, stop 64.
Yesterday Afren produced a statement and the price rose but then I noticed some very large sellers coming onto the order book - that and the fact it went back under 100 caused me to bank the profits at 98 and 97.5 (spread). All I can say is having level 2 helped enormously in the decision given it carried on falling. I still like this one longer-term and watching for a possible re-entry. Profits totalled £330 and for the spreadbet the profit was £625. Re-entry, well low 90s could be it but just holding off for a possible late 80s.
Imagination never looked like being a successful short so as I mentioned in the last report I was about to exit and did at 262 for a loss of £160. Always better to take the small loss fast then let it develop into a big one. The market likes this one and I'm going against the trend. The other short that didn't really pay was Dominos - it didn't want to go below 310 so I've exited at 315 for a small profit of £60. Shame as it did get to 306.
I've been ever so patient with Eaga and was pleased to see an excellent statement and unbelievably the shares still stayed in the same 140-150 range it's been in for so long. My patience ran out and sold at 145.6 and 145 on the spreads to bank profit of £78 and £182.50. Patience stretched too at Creston and sold half for the moment closing the last position at 80 for breakeven. Which wasn't a great move as it's already two points higher!
New Brit has been a nice winner but though I've kept hold of the normal buy I've taken profits on the spreadbets in it at 424 today to bank a nice profit of £2,120. And it's nice to retain the interest in that longer-term buy where profits are huge.
That's total profits banked (minus the losses ) for the site of £3,235 .
Elsewhere Micro Focus the real star of the show for me this week - target was a fiver and now it's close to 520 - yielding profits of more than £4,000. Been an excellent share and looks like more in the locker.
Despite the powerful upmove today I'm staying with the shorts for the moment - the Wolsely short has really paid off so far with profits of over £1,000.
The Man short has paid off brilliantly too - with profits there of over £1,000 as well. Of course it's tempting to take profits in both but just about staying with them which could be a mistake.
The two FTSE shorts are doing very well with about £2,000 of profit. Which would have been more at the start of today! Of course it's so volatile profits can become losses in no time so keeping a wary eye on them. Especially as the market is roaring ahead today. Indeed one could argue I should have banked bigger profits in all these yesterday but isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!
The buy back of Alterian has paid off so far .. I now have to work out whether the recent trade should be considered shorter-term while leaving the original trade a longer-term one - but it certainly has bounced well off 140. Interesting to see whether it can get back up above 150.
Spirent is getting close to a double. Nice move so far this week and the top up spreadbet is now in profit.
Dimension Data looks like it might be about to spike up - excellent profits here so far.
Recent buys have stood up well and indeed many have at least stayed steady which is good given the market downturn. Kentz especially looks strong.. Nice dividend banked in Treatt.
Morse hasn't done much so far but looks strong around 40 and I remain hopeful of a bid at some point. Xaar remains below the radar, remains to be seen yet whether that one will pay off.
Dialight consolidates well at higher levels -what a fabulous share this has been and it won't be long now before I'll have doubled on the first lot bought.
Intec Telecoms has raced higher this week and consolidated that, now up more than £6,000 plus a dividend as well. It's now nearly doubled. My lovely trebler Petrofac is on the move up again and seems to have strong support at 950ish.
Looks like this volatilty will run for a while - February is always a difficult month and this one looks like been a typical example. Might be a time to head under the covers and re-emerge mid March!

I've been getting e-mails regarding my use of direct market access and who I use. I've tried a few and for me the easiest system for me is here:
http://www.igmarkets.co.uk/?QPID=1079&QPPID=1
Direct market access means you can place orders directly onto the order book bypassing brokers and market-makers with a chance to buy at the "sell" price. I would suggest you ensure you know what you're doing first but IG does provide much education with its "tradesense" educational tool which comes with it.
I also use its spreadbetting service too along with other firms like Tradefair because it now provides trailing stops which to me is a pretty sensible way of trading. Link is here: -
http://www.igindex.co.uk/?QPID=1078&QPPID=1
that also includes a pretty decent educational programme. As usual before opening accounts please read all the warnings on the sites. You can lose a lot of money if you're not careful so pay close attention to them and make sure you always understand what you are doing and what your potential losses are.

I've also started using Tradefair for spreadbetting - I like the auto generated stop losses which help to maintain discipline and that's good for beginners I think. And exclusively for Naked Trader readers they upped the offer to £100 credit.
So there's now a £100 credit on offer for anyone opening an account via me. You get that after 2 spreadbets (terms and conditions apply).

I still get paid EVERY MONTH for sales I made back in 1999! Every time a customer uses broadband or the phone or switches on a light you get paid.
It's a great business and backed by a stock market company (Telecom Plus), a dedicated team of advisors.. and me to help you on your way!
Not only do you get paid out every month for each customer you can take on distributors. encourage them like I do and get paid on their sales as well.
One day, say you could made redundant, needed a year off or wanted to retire early can you imagine what joy it is to have the regular income coming in. It's wonderful.
You have to work at it, but if you do genuine repeat wealth could be yours. I did it. You can too. For full details, why not email me at robbiethetrader@aol.com.

Trade tables follow! Trades are current open and recently closed trades. Closed trades feature the closing price and the amount I won or lost. All others are open. Trades get updated a little later than the narrative. Trading costs are ignored, however I also do not add in dividend payments and with the kinds of companies I buy, dividends tend to equal or outweigh costs. Spread rollovers ignored for web purposes. Tables as accurate as poss however a mistake or two can creep in and very occasionally if I forgot I sold or bought something it will be added at a later time.
Trades first reported Weds and Fri afternoons under "Markets" section.. afraid I can't do live trades as that would turn me into a tipster and I'd have to be regulated!
